Southwire L106 Non-watertight Zinc Cable Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE L106 is a non-watertight zinc cable connector designed for securing Romex-style non-metallic sheathed cable to metal electrical enclosures, panels, and junction boxes. The zinc die-cast body provides reliable mechanical hold and a low-profile profile suited for standard residential and light commercial wiring work. At 1-1/4 inch trade size, this connector accepts common NM cable runs used throughout residential construction and retrofit projects. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this connector where code-compliant cable termination at the enclosure knockout is required but watertight sealing is not specified.

This connector is intended for dry, indoor applications where NEC-compliant cable strain relief and box entry are needed. Typical installations include residential panel feeders, junction box entries, and device box rough-in work. It is not rated for wet or damp locations. The 1-1/4 inch size fits standard knockouts of the same trade size found on most steel and aluminum enclosures used in residential and light commercial electrical work.
